A: This is a laptop running Windows 11. Its a decent system for the money. The I5 processor it's running is only 11th generation, but it's powerful enough for most routine activities other than gaming and video editing. The memory can be expanded, but only 1 slot is available and the soldiered in memory is only 4GB, so dual port mode is limited to the 8GB it's shipped with.
A: Greetings from the Intel team. Thank you for your question. 2.4 GHz is the processor base frequency; the Lenovo - Ideapad 3i model 82H80358US comes with the Intel® Core™ i5-1135G7 processor, which is a high-end processor that has a Base Frequency of 2.4 GHz and a Max Turbo Frequency of 4.2 GHz. CPUs do not always need to run at their maximum frequency. Some programs depend more on memory to run smoothly, while others are CPU-intensive. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is an energy-efficient solution to this imbalance: it lets the CPU run at its base clock speed when handling light workloads, then jump to a higher clock speed for heavy workloads.
